Once you have started to pay attention to the signs I mentioned in my last blog, you can gain acceptance and know that you are receiving communication from the other side.
The next step is the most important, healing. The spirits will begin to work with you and "through" you to release old "baggage" that is no longer useful to your soul.  This way of lightening your load, will help you receive the higher vibrations that spirit uses to communicate.  This process can take some time.  The length of time will depend on how strongly you continue to hold onto the negative feelings and negative experiences you have had in your life.
In order to help spirit work with you, there is something that you will need to do which can be very difficult for most people.  You will need to step away from those people around you who create negativity and drama in your life.  These type of people are exhausting to be around and even thinking about them can cause anxiety and suck the life right out of you. You know who they are.  We all have them in our life, but in order to progress spiritually, you will need to step away from each of them and let go of any resentment and anger you have inside you. This is a very difficult thing to do, but a necessary step.  If you are not sure of how a person fits into this area, think about what you feel when you are with them, or when you talk to them.  If they make you feel anything less than spiritual and loved, let them go and have limited contact with them.
This can be difficult for many reasons.  They may be family members, friends or people you work with everyday. If necessary, ask Spirit to help you with resources to open a new window or door to show you a way to remove yourself from them.
Again, this will take time, but know that spirit knows your needs and once you express them and your desire to have a more spiritual and peaceful life, change will begin to take place.  You cannot progress until you are free from the negativity.
In my next blog, I will talk about the physical changes you will experience during this process.
